The attitude in this email I have encountered elsewhere. Apple pays for ban=
dwidth, customers pay for access. Not sure why their release strategy is so h=
ighly critiqued. Microsoft and others have their own strategies for incremen=
tal downloads, caching, etc.. Apple has theirs.=20

ving older software live forever and not be updated. Overall I see this as a=
win.=20
